Subject: [Simple] MSRP responses in case of failure...

Hi all,
	The management of the MSRP responses in case of failure, is not really clear, regarding the MSRP draft. And I have some question about it.
	According to 7.1.3 Generate Failure Reports :

	"If an MSRP endpoint receives a SEND request that it cannot process for some reason, and the Failure-Report header field either was not present in the original request, or had a value of "yes", it SHOULD simply include the appropriate error code in the transaction response"
	Does it clearly means that, the REPORT request is not mandatory, when an error has been detected, and a non 200 class response has been already sent ????
	on the same par :
	"If the endpoint receives a SEND request with a Failure-Report header field value of "no", then it MUST NOT send a failure REPORT request, and MUST NOT send a transaction response" ..
	once again, so a non 200 class response is not supposed to be sent, even if a failure has been detected (in the case of failure-report set to no)...

	More generally, does it mean that the failure-report (and success-report s well) procedure could be performed either by response or by REPORT request  ???

Thanks for clarify these points 
Didier Varroni
